Good storm rolling into the course area, race starts tonight at midnight...


Edit: It appears this year it was the great reverse as racers were turned back before Star Peak, I imagine conditions got challenging up at elevation, a week ago massive amounts of snow were redeposited from ridges and high points.....

Interesting Live Track image ( nice to be able to track your racers with probes !) from an operations point of view it tells a story. Several teams got off course and need to get back to the barn or be rounded up, others look like they expedited a retreat and may require rescue while most racers handled the challenging course and changes well. Hope all remain safe great race!
